Régent Contades

Régent Contades is a four-star hotel on Quai Koch in the Neustadt district of Strasbourg, in the Grand Est region of France. The Neustadt is the late nineteenth-century German-era quarter built around the Place de la République, with wide avenues, monumental public buildings and the Parc de l'Orangerie not far to the north-east. The setting differs from the medieval alleys of the Grande Île: streets are broader, buildings are grander and the pace is calmer. The Grande Île, the cathedral and Place Kléber can be reached on foot or by a short tram ride, and the European Quarter with the Parliament lies further north along the same side of the city. The hotel falls into the upscale category, and its name recalls the Contades area of the Neustadt. Room types listed are Double and Twin Rooms, and the amenities include wifi and a spa, a feature that sets it apart from many mid-range hotels in the centre. The spa gives guests a place to unwind after sightseeing or after a day of meetings, and is a draw during the cold Alsatian winter. For meals, visitors can look to the restaurants and brasseries of the Neustadt and the nearby Krutenau and Grande Île districts, where Alsatian specialities, French bistro cooking and international cuisine are all available. Nightly rates are generally between about 120 and 300 euros. The service character is that of a quiet, comfortable upscale hotel for couples, leisure travellers and business guests who want to be near the city's institutions without staying in the busiest tourist streets. Enquiries can be made on +33 3 88 15 05 05 or through the hotel's website, and guests should confirm spa conditions and breakfast arrangements at the time of reservation.
